To obtain a pretrial levy or seizure of property in Virginia, a plaintiff must post a bond under Code of Virginia § 8.01-537.1 covering costs and damages if the levy turns out to be wrongful. This is the version where the principal is not the named defendant — for example, the plaintiff or someone posting on the plaintiff’s behalf. Your premium is 2% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum — confirmed at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the plaintiff’s levy bond actually covers
When a plaintiff wants to levy on or seize property before judgment, Virginia requires a bond to protect against a wrongful levy. Code of Virginia § 8.01-537.1 says the plaintiff, or someone for the plaintiff, must give a bond with approved surety (or a cash or property bond) at the time of suing out an attachment or other pretrial levy or seizure.
The bond is conditioned to pay all costs and damages awarded against the plaintiff, or sustained by any person, by reason of a wrongful levy or seizure. The amount is set by the court: at least the estimated fair market value of the property for a levy, and at least double that value for a seizure (a property bond runs double either way).
This page is for the case where the principal is not the named defendant — typically the plaintiff, or another party posting on the plaintiff’s behalf. If the surety pays out on a wrongful-levy claim, the principal repays the surety. We issue the court-set amount with premiums starting from $125 and one quick soft credit check.
